With summers at the door step, Gurgaon has already started experiencing power cuts. Known as the millennium city, the electric supply to some areas is very low. Since 2-3 days, the residents of Old city are undergoing power cuts which last for 7-8 hours per day.

Agonized by the deficient state, people
run from the office of the Municipal Corporation of Gurgaon (MCG) to
Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (DHBVN) office or calling up the
call centers which usually are found to be busy. Even then there is
no improvement seen.

According to a Navbharat Times MCG's
SDO Pawan Kumar said that if the maintenance work of the feeders is
not carried out on time, the peak season may see a big problem of
electricity shortage. He also said that the cables of the Shivpuri
feeder are very old. If not changed/ repaired, a huge power cut is
expected.

So, to prevent such complications,
maintenance work is being carried out due to which power cut is
expected for 5 days. According to the sources, sector-6 and sector-7
are the worst hit. These areas are facing 7-8 hours of power shortage
since the last 2-3 days. Here, electricity goes off at around 10 in
the morning and is back by 6 in the evening.
